Boards and committees usually institute rules in reaction to somebody trying something sneaky, so most rules tell you what you "cannot" do. You can't do this and you can't do that. Our kids are bombarded with what they can't do.
I am flexing my muscle and influence as an unknown, amateur, online author and changing the tune by implementing a new set of rules for North American soccer.
We can leave the "Rules and regulations" to the people who administer soccer. I don't envy those people as their work always deals with negative issues. I guess with the hundreds of thousands of players registered, there should be some structure or semblance of order.
My rules revolve around building our game's culture.
I submit these for immediate adoption by the CSA and USSF. These are all things you can or must do. No "cannot" or "shall not".
These focus mostly on U13 and below, but are universally applicable.
